March 8, 2011 No Comment
When we first peeked this AirPlay -enabled speaker dock, we were admittedly excited to see how things would turn out after it made rounds through the FCC. JBL just tossed up the splash page for the On Air Wireless speaker and we’ve gotta say — it looks to be a promising means of streaming your jams. The system connects wirelessly to your AirPlay-enabled Mac and iOS device on 4.2 or later and packs a screen that’ll display the track info of the song you’re rocking out to. What’s more, the rounded grill sports a dual alarm clock, FM radio, and a USB port for future firmware updates. As you might have surmised by now, the dock is not yet available for purchase and there’s no word on price. If you’re interested, though, be sure to hit the source link, sign up for more info and get ready to headbang this spring.

Tired of the unprofessional, poorly-lit, generally unfunny clips that get uploaded to YouTube by the thousands every day? How about some rather more professional looking but still potentially unfunny content? Welcome to YouTube Next. That’s what Next Now Networks is calling its new focus, “supercharging content creator development on YouTube” after being bought by that company, which itself is still a fairly recent Google acquisition. The Next New Networks goal was to work with independent “talent” to develop their online following, helping them find “paths to revenue.” Along the way that company found itself somewhere south of $50 million dollars, according to The New York Times , and has lost its CEO in the progress. What’s next for the two? More YouTube superstars, naturally.
